HELPFUL TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF BEING PUBLISHED:
a. Variety is KEY. The more images you submit, the greater your chances are of getting into the magazine because you are submitting a variety of images for us to choose from.
Most photographers submit at least 3-4 images of EACH client and most submit at least 4-5 clients. Some do more.
When you see a magazine with many images from one photographer, it's because they submitted a large number of quality images.
We are cutting back on including multiple images with the exact same background, although they may be of different models. So please be aware.
b. DO NOT include any logo or watermark on your images. You will be disqualified.
c. PLEASE READ the naming instructions in the next sesction.
We ALWAYS have photographers who do not follow the instructions for naming images. Improperly named images will be disqualified. We will no longer contact you if you have not named your images incorrectly.
